An often overlooked aspect of funding is liquidation preference. Investors usually ensure they get liquidation preference when an exit happens. This means that they first get to take out the money that they had put in, and the remaining is then split up according to the equity share. This is the reason why if a company sells for a valuation lesser than the previous round's valuation, employees usually end up with nothing.

@lernik4 2 года назад

Really? That's super important then. Is it only true when the entire company gets sold/acquired, or also for each new round of investment?

@shreyassubramaniam438 2 года назад

@@lernik4 Investors don't usually sell their shares in subsequent rounds. So this is mostly applicable to exits. That said, it all depends on the specific terms that an investor is offering. Always ensure your lawyer goes over and explains the terms to you. First time founders often get a raw deal, and investors are known to even include 2x or 3x liquidation preference in the terms. This means that they first take out two or three times their money on exit, and only then the remaining gets divvied up.

@subarnopaul243 2 года назад

That’s scary

@albertolopezcazalilla 2 года назад

And if you get into account they sometimes slip wording that means the liquidation preference clause is participative (aka 'double dip') it gets pretty scary. We had a startup that almost got choked in Series A because of that.

@IdowuAkinde 2 года назад

Wow. I love this ❤❤❤ I have a similar version of this - I call it the Equity Distribution Calculator - that I've typically shared with my (startup) coaching clients to help them understand equity and dilution in general, and visualize how their present equity holdings could change in the future. Perhaps I should create a video too...🤔 Great job, Slidebean! More elbow grease... 💪

@blakwiddow 2 года назад

@AndreLightcraft 2 месяца назад

Can you answer this quick question.. I noticed when you were playing with the numbers in series A and series B only the percentages dropped for the founders and not the seed investors or series A investors. Can you explain why ?

this is an updated version of that video, maybe it’ll help explain it better: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4WaJD0MF4q4.htmlsi=zG92xuCilkhatFks

@arielle-cheriepaterson7851 28 дней назад

Ok but can you explain WHY the company had to create new shares? Every vid I've watched on this topic hasn't explained that.

@slidebean 28 дней назад

In part, because selling shares someone already is terribly inefficient.

@dmartinez95 3 месяца назад

The video shows pre-money valuation as an input variable but the version on the website as of 6/22/24 shows post-money valuation as the input variable instead.

@AbhinavKulshreshtha 2 года назад

I have a query about employee stock option, Suppose a startup gave their employees stocks as bonus, but even after over 20 years, the company doesn't have any intention to go for ipo or similar stuff, it's a profitable completely self-bootstrapped company that never needed any kind of funding, and their plan is to keep the business in the family. Can those stocks ever be redeemed?

@TiberiuMusat 2 года назад

Yes, but not on the public markets.

@AbhinavKulshreshtha 2 года назад

@@TiberiuMusat then how? The management didn't do the buyback when all employees asked for. Stocks are literally useless as the company is going to stay private forever.

@sanyamchaturvedi5633 2 года назад

So i guess this happens based on the company valuation at that particular point of time as in the type of funding they have or had by that time. The total exceeding value of the company based on the investment that company already possess, your ESOPS will be valued then you’ll get your amount.

@TiberiuMusat 2 года назад

@@AbhinavKulshreshtha At some point they will do stock buybacks or at least start paying dividends. Until then, you might be able to use your stock as collateral for a loan.
